I wonder how may churches will stop sponsoring Scout troops (mine has mostly liberal congregants,so I suspect it won't) and how many Friends of Scotung donors will stop donating. I wonder if this was really a values-based judgment by BSA, an attempt to quiet the intolerant hecklers of the left, or an attempt to increase membership.

It seems the first amendment is all but void. When the government can block the release of public information to avoid hurting someone's feelings or to avoiding embarrassing someone, then the government is in full control of speech and the press... It ain't free no more.

That someone would put forth the notion that the attorney general (executive branch) is the "law giver" (judicial branch fucntion) is very scary. At best, it reveals a terrible ignoance of our Constitution. At worst it represents an attack on the Constitution. Sadly, Michael Eric Dyson isn't alone in thinking (and trying to get the rest of us to think) that the current regime has, or should have, the all the powers of government.

FiarTax (HR 25 / S 122).

How dare anyone expect a six-year old to act like a six tear old. How dare anyone expect a school adminstrator to make adult decisions. I'm surpised the kinderhoodlum isn't doing life without parole.

Right on!

"Freedom – our uniquely American Brand of Freedom – is dependent on a robust, job and wealth creating, expanding economy." Actually, our uniquely American Brand of Freedom is dependent on putting the individual before the state and on a recognition of the individual's property rights. The robust, job and wealth creating, expanding economy is the product of liberty, not the basis.

"There is a simple way to restrain the IRS so this type of intrusion doesn't happen again: get rid of it." HR 25 & S 122 - the FairTax, followed by repeal of the 16th Amendment, and this particular tool of tyranny goes away. (Do you think maybe the drafters of the US Constitution had a reason for prohibiting an income tax?)

Julian Bond is liekly a racist.

FairTax and no IRS.

Get rid of th IRS, and this problem goes away. Tell you members of Congress to pass the FairTax.
